I am always on the lookout for chicken recipes. Recently I have come across several for “Hawaiian Chicken” they are all similar with a few modifications. I, of course had to try my own twist on this popular theme as well.

I made this today. It was so yummy. I didn’t have pineapple, but it turned out great anyhow.
Lauren, I’m glad you liked it!
What did you serve with this?
Do you thaw the chicken first? Or put it in frozen?
Christine, the chicken goes in the crockpot frozen. How easy is that??
could you cut the chicken into chunks and do it in a skillet?
This really needs to be made in the crockpot so that the flavors have time to meld together.
Does it need to be frozen chicken and if not I’m assuming the cooking time would be lessened right?
I would cut cooking time by 1/3 if I wasn’t using frozen chicken.
What did u serve with ?
I served it with rice and veggies!
Im going to use drumsticks, thats all i have in freezer
Just wondering about fresh pineapple being used instead of canned?
Jen, I’m sure fresh pineapple would work just fine.
I made this in the oven and it came out so delicious and juicy and great!! Everyone ate it and I doubled the recipe and it waa all gone in one sitting. We had 8 people eating and that’s how much they enjoyed it!
Amanda, I’m so glad everyone loved it!
My husband can’t get enough of this delicious recipe. So easy, the crock pot does all the work. I serve it with sticky rice only. He likes it that much!!! Thank you
Donna, Thanks you! I’m glad it is a favorite.
I made this and the sauce did not crystalized is just soupy .what can I do
Sandy, I’m not sure what you mean by “crystalize”. This is a sauce it shouldn’t crystalize.
Fast and easy to put together and delicious to eat! Brown rice with peas and carrots is my first thought for a side dish! This is an amazing meal I will make very soon!
I’m going to try this in my electric pressure cooker. I’ve made it in the slow cooker but I usually add green peppers. My family loves it!
Yummy I added red and orange sweet peppers with it
